GROWING WEATHER WEAKENS MARKET
CHICAGO. May 8. Government figures showing that commercial stocks of corn are much larger than a year ago had a decidedly bearish effect today on corn . values. The fact that the weather continue auspicious for farm work and pastures tended also to weaken prices. There was general selling and only limited support. Opening quotations, which varied from the same as yesterday's finish to lc lower with May 127 3-8 and July 145 1-4 to 146, were followed by a material further setback. Oats declined under liquidation on a heavy scale by holders. The trade seemed to be much impressed by absence of seaboard demand and by the fine crop outlook. After opening 1-S to 5-8 down, with July 66 3-8 to 6 5-8. the market continued to sag. Hogs at the highest price ever known in May strengthened provisions; offerings were scarce.

verification of the destruction of the
enemy was impossible.
Captain Hall's machine had painted
unon Its side the first American air
plane insignia to appear on the battle
line. It was in the form of a "hat in
the rlqg" sign, showing a star-striped high hat usually pictured on Uncle
Sam. surrounded by a golden ring. Despite the bad weather, German machines were out In force. Alarm after alarm was answered by the Americans. Lieut. Cunningham engaged one machine when five more of the enemy joined in. The lieutenant kept up the fight until his machine gun jammed, when he returned to the American lines with ten bullet holes in his plane. The usual German game was to have a small number of planes appear near the American lines, while a reserve of four or five machines remained out of sight until the Americans came into action. The reserves would then swoop down in an attempt to wipe out the Americans. The American aviators met this by answering alarms with twice the number of machines it was reported the Germans had.
American aviators used Nieuport
oursuit machines as their fighting
weapons. The Americans engaged in photography and artillery regulating
work also had to fight. Two Amen
cans, protecting a fighting machine were attacked by two Germans. The fight lasted for half an hour and ended when one German went wobbling to the ground about three kilometres within the German lines. The fight tok place about 2 kilometres behind the German positions. As a result of today's activity, it is believed the Germans sent some of their best fliers to this sector to attempt to annihilate the American flying force.

It remarks that when General Maurice said that no soldier had seen his letter, he did not say that no plain citizen had seen it. This omission, the Daily Mall adds, "coupled with Mr. Asquith'r3 maneuvres in parliament on Tuesday, "suggest that the old gang believes it has found a weapon which will destroy the government. We believe these infatuated partisans have made one more miscalculation. The nation has no confidence in the discredited and dilatory politicians and their pacifist hangerson who were driven from office eighteen months ago." The Daily Graphic says: "Mr. Asquith's intervention indicafes that the political truce is now at an end. We
must anticipate a new political strug-

the premier's honor. The conservative Morning Post says that the premier's own act brought the government to the present serious
pass. He refused, it declares, to take
the advice of soldiers, the Germans took advantage of the situation and the premier threw the blame on the soldiers. The Post adds: "The hand of Nemesis is now stretched out. Lloyd George will need all his nibleness to avoid being cracked on the wheel of destiny. He has had his chance and has proved himself unfit for work in hand. But nobody can rejoice, who considers the alternative, at the prospect offered." The radical Daily News, which is
opposed to the premier, rejoices that the government will not accept the
Asquith motion but will treat it as a vote of censure so that parliament on Thursday must take a decision involving the life of the government.

It had been anticipated that there would be a close race between Brooks and Thornburgh for the county auditorship, but Brooks carried almost every precinct in the county going over the line with a majority of 515 votes.
Clem Carr had no trouble In defeating Bricker for the nomination for sheriff. Carr's majority of 2,791 was overwhelming, and second only to Strayer's lead of 3,259 over his alleged opponent. Mathews was an easy winner for the county assessorship, leading Eshelman by- 1,327 votes. A close race developed for county commissioner from the eastern district, Homer Farlow defeating Davenport by a majority of 16 votes. The largest vote in the Republican party was polled by Frank Strayer, who was given 3,858 votes by his party. There was little interest in the Democratic nominations, as there was no opposition on any of the more important offices with the exception of Joint representative.

4,000 EXPECTED TO
GIVE TO RED GROSS
Features of the city campaign for
the Red Cross war fund drive were
outlined by the members of the Richmond committee of the Wayne county war fund association at a meeting Tuesday afternoon. -
Four thousand names have been se
lected as persons who will be expectted to contribute to the fund. The campaign will begin Tuesday, May 21, and will continue for four days. One hundred and twenty-five men have
been selected to act as canvassers
for the war fund, and will work every
morning from nine to twelve o'clock.
The solicitors will be divided Into
four armies, the American, English.
French and Italian. The armies will consist of 25 men each, and each will -be under the direction of a general. The armies in turn will be made up of two companies of ten men each, of
which there are to be a captain and two lieutenants. Each company is to
be given a' certain district to solicit.
and the scores made each day will be
represented by trenches drawn about a picture of the kaiser. There is expected to be a great deal of rivalry among the various armies, as to
which one will be the first to "swat the kaiser." On Monday, evening, May 20 the members of the soliciting armies will meet for dinner at the Y. M. C. A. and will be given final' instructions for th campaign.

AMERICANS SENT OUT OF MEXICO
(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. May 8. Unoffic
ial advices received here tell of an order for the expulsion from Mexico by the Carranza government of Robert H. Murray, the representative of
the committee on public information
in Mexico City, who in. that capacity
has been in charge of the work con
ducted by the American government
to offset German propaganda. At the same time, the unofficial ad
vices say one of the correspondents of the Associated Press in Mexico
City. W. E. W'eigand, was also ordered to leave.
The expulsion of both men it Is said
was ordered under the 33rd section of
the- Mexican constitution which pro
vides for the summary deportation of
"pernicious foreigners" without trial or" hearing. Some of the experiences of- Americans expelled from Mexico under that section- have been described as little short of harrowing.

Manure Aids Production Millions of Dollars of Plant Food Wasted Every Year . Br P. G. HOLDEN
INCE the United States entered the war, our government has been
calling upon the people to produce and conserve food. During tne pnsi year, production and conservation have become household words in every home.
But of the two, production is the greater because we cannot conserve unless we produce. It is our duty to answer the call of the government. We must both produce and conserve and particularly must we conserve anvthing that will help us increase production. . In the United States millions of tons of stnble manure go to waste every year, yet no substitute known can completely take the place of manure as fertilizer. Much Manure Wasted. ,The accompany!? chart will give n good idea of the tremendous waste of farm manure from carelessness in handling and exposure to the weather. No soil is" so fertile that its producing power is not decreased by continued cropping, which takes away fertility and returns nothing. Every crop
removes irom ine son juaui nwu which must, in some manner, b returned. Manure increases the suppl5 of humus in the soil. It adds plant food. It makes the plant food In the soil more available. It makes the soil warm. It enables the soil to receive and retain more water and to gradually give it up to growing crops. It Improves soil ventilation. It cids in the development oi bacteria. It helps to prevent washing. Experiments have shown that
practically SO per cent of the plant food elements in feed is returned In the manure. Yet, despite its great importance as fertilizer, manure valued at hundreds of millions of dollars is lost every year by reason of careless handling. Manure is lost by being exposed to the weather, by leaching, by heating, by rotting, and by being piled in heaps in the field and allowed to stand before spreading.
